When I was a child, if I didn't study hard, my mother would say, "if I don't study hard, I will go camping under the overpass in the future."

Some time ago, because of the epidemic, my friends were forced to stay at home, and even a neighborhood who wanted to keep a job had to be isolated obediently.

As life begins to return to what it was before the epidemic, it seems that more and more people want to experience camping. There is a coffee shop near Hongqiao in Shanghai that can experience outdoor camping, which is a boon for friends who want both camping and coffee.

The outdoor camping style coffee shop, Neverland, located at 783 Jincheng Road, Shanghai, is a new store listed by Dianping in May, according to Dianping.

According to some netizens' interviews with the manager of the coffee shop, the manager herself is a camping enthusiast, the various camping appliances in the coffee shop are also her own collection, and she is also the gold medalist of the international cake competition.

Chen Wei, the host, also shared on Little Red Book that she positioned Neverland as a natural lifestyle platform, wanted to give neighbors a platform to get to know each other and make friends, and expressed fear that Neverland might become a place for online celebrities to clock in.

From the photos on the Internet, it is not difficult to see that Neverland is opened in an open space in a residential area and was originally positioned as a community cafe for nearby residents.

Some netizens also commented that because of the open air, there is no air conditioning, relying on the wind of nature. And because the environment is similar to that of camping, there will be mosquitoes. Brothers and sisters who want to visit their homes are advised to take anti-mosquito measures.

From the point of view of Shanghai, a city with a very high consumption level, the pricing of Neverland is very close to the people, but there are not many choices of coffee, there are no individual beans, but there is food. It is really a good place to communicate with friends face to face.

There are two tents in the coffee shop, and there are lush trees behind the big tents. When they enter the tents, they really have the illusion that they are camping.

There is a lot of camping equipment inside the other tent, and outside the tent is a toy dog that can look real. There are beads of lights hanging around the tent, and the lights come on when it is dark, making the atmosphere of camping even stronger.

The bar is set up next to the tent. According to Dianping's comments, the coffee shop has only one kind of Italian coffee beans, and the manager also revealed that the coffee beans choose the Trio trio from Moby Dick Coffee Bean Shop.

A classic Volkswagen VW T1 is parked at the entrance of the coffee shop. The bus was one of the symbols of hippie culture in the last century, representing freedom.

The great Hungarian poet Petofi once wrote, "Life is precious, the price of love is higher, if for freedom, both can be thrown away." Unlike Petofi, what he pursues is the freedom of the motherland, while what we pursue is individual freedom.

Drifting in this busy big city, working hard to lose myself. If you want to go camping in a quiet corner to find yourself, why not?

Mom, I have studied hard, but I still want to experience camping life.

The mother may think that the child is stupid at school, but in fact, people who have lived in cities for a long time really want to return to their primitive life. Coincidentally, Neverland creates a highly reductive camping environment, satisfying both campers and coffee lovers, while providing an opportunity for those who want to flee the city for a while.
